This comment came shortly after State Secretary Antony Blinken&#8217;s visit to Beijing to improve U.S.-China relations.<\/p>\n<p>Biden highlighted the embarrassment caused to Xi by the recent incident involving a Chinese spy balloon. The balloon, which had strayed off course and entered U.S. airspace, was shot down by the U.S. military. According to Biden, Xi was unaware of the balloon&#8217;s presence, which added to his humiliation as a dictator.<\/p>\n<h2>Beijing Talks<\/h2>\n<p>The President&#8217;s remarks followed a &#8220;robust conversation&#8221; between Blinken and Xi in Beijing on June 19. Both sides acknowledged the importance of stabilizing the tense relations between the two nations.<\/p>\n<p>While Xi expressed satisfaction with the progress made during the talks, Blinken revealed that the Chinese communist regime refused to resume military-level exchanges.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5341575\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2023\/06\/19\/id5341575-GettyImages-1258808330-1200x800.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><\/noscript><\/figcaption><\/a><br \/>\n    U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken shakes hands with China\u2019s leader Xi Jinping in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on June 19, 2023.

He stated that it was time to close that chapter and focus on the future.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken&#8217;s visit to Beijing was initially scheduled for February but was postponed due to the detection of a suspected Chinese spy balloon flying over the continental United States.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/another-chinese-spy-balloon-traveling-over-latin-america-pentagon-says_5033544.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The balloon was sighted<\/a> over Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Colombia, and Venezuela.
